CJ GAT Preamp VS ART 3 which one is the best?


Has anyone received and tried this preamp in the system yet? I was told that this preamp is much better than ART 3 which i find very hard to believe. I would appreciate it very much if anyone can share their experiences. Thank you very much.

Hi Frank

Yea I put Lew into a difficult position when I asked which sounded better, as cj is also in the business of selling new products.
From talking to Lew it seemed that the new GAT is the best design they can make from one chassis, as the ART was the best they could make from two chassis.
Cost is also a factor as 25k makes the ART3 only available to a select few - not that 20k is chump change.

I have a feeling the CT5 will go soon and be replaced with some trickle down tech from the GAT.

ps, you can buy the ART3 on audiogon at the moment and sell your ART2 to some lucky audophile.

cheers have fun
Question- which preamp is the GAT?
I have heard the Art2 series2 with the CJ 350 amp and cannot imagine a better sounding combo...I was blown away to say the least!
